On certain 5th wheel travel trailers, in excess towing conditions, stress cracks can begin to occur at the connecting point between the pin box side plate and the pin box rear tube causing a potential tearing of the pin box side plates and the rear pin box tube. This could result in the unit being partially or fully detached from the tow vehicle, with resulting potential property damage or injury. Correction: Dealer will reinforce the pin box connecting point.
